Life means different things to different people; there is no definite or abstract meaning for life, only a relative ever-changing one. Thus, we can only define life’s purpose in a given time, situation, or person.
So don’t ask, “what is life?” but instead, “what is life for me?”
A patient can find meaning in one of three ways:
• Performing an action that distracts them from the pain and makes them feel fulfilled
• Experiencing something meaningful/interacting with someone whose company they enjoy
• Developing a positive attitude toward unavoidable suffering...
